- Abstract
The cases of Mountain Ash and Alpine Ash forests will not be isolated ones, with other ecosystems, like those dominated by obligate seeder woodland tree species, also supporting plant species susceptible to adverse outcomes in the face of frequent burning (Gosper I et al i . In recent times, extensive areas of Mountain Ash forest and other wet forest ecosystem types like those dominated by Alpine Ash ( I Eucalyptus delegatensis i ) have experienced so much natural and human disturbance that they need much less fire rather than more fire in the future (Lindenmayer I et al i . 35 Taylor C., Blanchard W. and Lindenmayer D. B. (2020) Does forest thinning reduce fire severity in Australian eucalypt forests? Recent catastrophic fire seasons, particularly the so-called "Black Summer" of 2019-2020, have led to widespread discussions about how land management in parts of Australia might more effectively reduce the risks of high severity and high-intensity wildfire.
